This is the first monkey I mailed to Denville. The little girl loved her! It was a birthday gift from her mother. She named the monkey love Delilah. What a lovely name for a CoCo's Box Softie.
This a blog for my small business CoCo's Box. I am the owner Niccole Broughton. I make hand made toys for babies, children, and adults. This blog was created to keep my clients abreast on all that's going on with CoCo's Box (i.e. craft shows,retail shops, e-shops, new products etc.) Please feel free to leave comments/suggestions that you feel would help improve my business.

Monkey See, Monkey Do
Hello Everyone,
Today I mailed out the last of two monkeys I made for a client. They are safely on their way to Denville NJ. Now that's taken care of, I'm going to start working on Halloween Amis. I LOVE Halloween it's my favorite holiday. I'm a little disappointed my choice of costume will be restricted to the maternity styles. But next year I'll have a cutie pie to dress up and take trick-or-treating. (I can't wait!)
My first set of Halloween Amigurumi will be bats. I made bats last year and they all sold out. I'm re-working this years design so they are a bit smaller with more features. They will be created free hand like most of my Amis so each one is a little bit different. I'll be working on their faces today. Happy Crafting Everyone!
Best, Niccole B

Hello Again!
Hello Everyone, (Remember Me Niccole B?)
How are you? I miss typing in my blog. I'm sorry I've been away for a while. I have alot going on, so much has changed in the last 3 months. My "boyfriend" David Bordino became my hubby and we have a baby on the way. Crazy Sauce right?
I have been preoccupied with preparing for my bundle of joy (read busy). The last 3 months my mind has been else where, but now that things have simmered down a bit I'm going to get back to business.
I'm excited to say that I'm going to be a stay at home mom for a year or two which will allow me to work on my crafts and build Coco's Box while experiencing the joys (and headaches) of parenthood.
Crafting keeps me happy, keeps my mind off my changing body, and helps time pass quickly as I wait for baby. I'm currently working on a group of monkeys that were ordered by a client I met at a craft show. I actually have a box of finished product the needs photo graphing but after my last CWC meeting on photography I can't being myself to do it with my mediocre photography skills. lol I will however post quick pics of the monkeys I make before they go in the mail.
Gotta get back to work! I will talk to you all soon!
Best,
Niccole B.
